Created in 1987, DRG has partnered with more than 350 separate organizations
and institutions throughout the United States and Canada. Since then, we
have successfully conducted over 920 searches, representing a high repeat
client relationship rate of which we´re especially proud. Founded solely to
meet expanding needs for professional leadership within mission-driven
organizations, we continue to address the unique challenges in the nonprofit
sector. As a firm who embraces change, we are constantly reviewing our own
work and investing in training, resources, and technology to meet our
clients expectations, demands, and challenges.

Our work with human service agencies is a significant portion of our annual
search assignments. We have recruited CEOs and senior executives for
agencies providing services in the areas of children and families, mental
health, disabilities and the elderly. In 1992, we were selected by the Child
Welfare League of America (CWLA) to develop executive search services for
their 1,100 member agencies across the country. DRG directed CWLA´s searches
for eight years. This unique partnership extended our services to include
recruiting CEOs and senior managers for children´s service and human service
agencies across the United States. Our executive search consultants who have
worked with CWLA-DRG searches have expertise in child welfare and human
service management and are well connected to the professional networks in
the field.

Right from the start, we embraced computer technology, and over the years we
have significantly updated our technology and network to enable us to easily
track candidates´ careers, communicate effectively with clients, and
automate our business functions.

However, the key to our success has undoubtedly been the high caliber
consultants and associates we have attracted to our Group and retained over
the years. All DRG consultants have noteworthy nonprofit backgrounds. All
consultants subscribe to DRG´s participatory work style where they meet
weekly to review and strategize current assignments and to discuss ideas for
new methods, techniques, and trends. Although consultants manage their own
assignments, they also contribute toward the team concept of helping all of
DRG´s clients find the professional leadership that will successfully move
them through change and toward achieving new goals.

And what about the future? The "business" of leading nonprofit organizations
has become increasingly sophisticated, complex, and challenging. And we
relish the challenges. We have an outstanding team of nonprofit consultants
and the latest technology to serve our clients. In these changing times, the
need to go the extra mile has never been more important, and we´re fully
prepared to travel the distance.
